Yurista, P. M., J. R. Kelly, AND S E. Miller. EVALUATION OF ZOOPLANKTON SIZE-SPECTRUM AS AN INDICATOR FOR GREAT LAKES NEARSHORE WATERS. Presented at Estuarine and Great Lakes Coastal Indicators Program (EaGLe) Annual Meeting, Duluth, MN, September 30, 2004.

Description:

Initial evaluation of a biological indicator for zooplankton communities in lakes has been encouraging. Tge method uses an optical counter which makes measurements in situ, towing behind a vessel allows rapid surveys over extensive areas in a relatively short time. Application throughout the Great Lakes suggests an ability to discriminate zooplankton conditions among lakes using the in situ estimation of the size distribution of zooplankton.
